zucchini fritters! (with broccoli and spinach stuffed chicken boobs)

us Southern folk excel at taking a healthy ingredient and making it unhealthy. zucchini fritters are one of my favorite fried foods. Too easy to make, and again, you can substitute another veggie, should there be something wrong with you that causes you to dislike zucchini. I got a ridiculously large zucchini (2.5 lbs!) in my CSA, and Lynn and I cut that baby in half to share. This is what I did with my half…

Step 1 – Shred your zucchini! I use an OXO mandoline that I love, but cannot be trusted with, and therefore always slice whilst wearing a chain mail glove.

Step 2 – add the rest of the ingredients and mix well!

(you might be able to see that i tossed in a handful of leftover chopped broccoli* as well, which was being used to stuff chicken boobs on the other side of the kitchen)

Step 3 – heat your fry oil, about 3/4″ high in a pan, and plop in your batter. Flip when browned (about 1-2 minutes on each side)

Step 4 – dry on paper towels and serve! In my case, with CSA broccoli and spinach stuffed chicken boobs and couscous! (For chicken boobs, sautee veggies in browned garlic with oil and then stuffed into a chicken boob and toss on the grill for 10 minutes whilst heating up your oven, top with cheese and douse with chicken stock, bake for another 6-8, or until cheese is burnt)

True Story.

I love me some food porn just like any other foodie, and i cook like whoa, but my food for the most part is pretty ugly. I find that it tastes better that way. As adorable as your wisp of red pepper and slice of julienned lettuce are atop whatever fancy creation you have come up with, your ratios are off, and you have spent too much time styling.
This blog came into existence in June 2011 to showcase what I am doing with my CSA goodies, My current CSA comes from Garden Of Eve farm, but it is handled by Greenpoint Williamsburg CSA Now it has grown to showcase food competitions and projects as well as reviews of products and restaurants that I enjoy and recommend.
